Species richness estimation of the Afrotropical Darwin wasps (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae). [PDF]

Species richness is one of the fundamental metrics of biodiversity. Estimating species richness helps spotlight taxonomic groups that are particularly under-studied, such as the highly diverse Darwin wasps.

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

Ant–aphid mutualism: the influence of Tapinoma ibericum (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) on Aphis gossypii (Hemiptera: Aphidae) control by commercial and spontaneous natural enemies

Insect Science, EarlyView.
The mutualism between Tapinoma ibericum ants and Aphis gossypii disrupts the biological control exerted by Aphidius colemani in greenhouse peppers. Ant exclusion increased parasitism and the presence of most natural enemies, although Aphidoletes aphidimyza was more abundant with ants.

Gut Bacterial Differences Between Pollen-Carrying Bee Larvae and Vespine Wasp Larvae, with an Emphasis on Specific Gut Bacteria of Vespine Wasps

Microbiology Research
While the gut microbiota of pollen-carrying bees (e.g., honeybees and bumblebees) has been well studied, the gut microbiota of vespine wasps remains poorly understood.

Reduced fertilization regimes could boost biocontrol service without reducing crop yield

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Fertilization level influences pest control effectiveness in tomato crops. High fertilization increases plant growth and aphid density but reduces the performance of the parasitoid Aphidius ervi. In contrast, the predator Adalia bipunctata maintains consistent aphid suppression regardless of fertilization regime.

The records of Dolichovespula pacifica (Birula, 1930) (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) and the northern limits of its range in European North of Russia

Acta Biologica Sibirica
In this study, we present new records of Dolichovespula pacifica (Birula, 1930) in Northern European Russia. The range of D. pacifica in the studied region extends up to transitional zone between taiga and low-shrub tundra.

Yellowjackets, Hornets, and Paper Wasps

, 2007
Social wasps, including yellowjackets, hornets and paper wasps, are common stinging insects in Utah (Figs. 1, 2). The wasps are related to ants and bees, which are also capable of stinging; however, yellowjackets are the most likely to ...

Polydnaviruses of braconid wasps derive from an ancestral nudivirus

, 2009
International audienceMany species of parasitoid wasps inject polydnavirus particles in order to manipulate host defenses and development. Because the DNA packaged in these particles encodes almost no viral structural proteins, their relation to viruses ...
